New spin on and old question.

There have been many post about "How much do you charge?", but that is a slippery slope because many have different cleaning procedures, different overhead, different production rates.

What I would like to know is what is your target profitability per hour. After you pay all expenses what is left. If you are an owner operator pay yourself as a technician, but don't take your owners pay.

For example and round numbers not mine. If you bill $100 per hour. If you total overhead including technician payroll is $55.00 an hour that leave $45.00 for your pay as owner and company profits. That would be per truck if you are multi truck.

I think this might be interesting.

Just so we are all on the same page, what is the definition of total overhead?

For a job to me it would be labor,van,equipment, detergents.

And then there is "opportunity cost", the money that COULD have been earned doing something else.
